Robert De Niro and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. are looking for proof that vaccines are safe, despite overwhelming evidence that vaccines are safe.
The unlikely duo teamed up to offer $100,000 to anyone who can provide proof.
“On one hand, the government is telling pregnant women which mercury-laced fish to avoid so that they don’t harm their fetuses, and on the other, the CDC supports injecting mercury-containing vaccines into pregnant women, infants and children,” Kennedy said at a joint press conference Wednesday.
“This defies all logic and common sense.”

It is your job to research and draw your own conclusions about what you believe is best for you and your family within the bounds of US law.

The government cannot tell you what to put in your body.

The government has be wrong on many occasions with respect to drug approvals, recommendations, etc. and has had to withdraw such approvals/recommendations because they were found to be excessively harmful.

The government and drug industries are in bed to together. Remember that.

There's seemingly a drug and/or vaccine for lots of rather insignificant aliments. Why? Largely a profit-driven drug and medical industry. It's what they want. Take drug for X for a minor aliment and then you have to supplement the side effects of drug X with drugs Y and Z and so on.

Might as well be offering 10 million as "safe" is all relative. Vaccines are drugs. Drugs have potential risks and therefore cannot be blanket labeled "safe". The better question is are they safe for you? For most the answer is yes. For an unlucky few the answer is most definitely no.

The issue is its their barometer is fucked up. They will constantly point to any single possible thing to refute it. Its like proving a negative.

You might as well offer $100k to prove that god doesnt exist.

Sort of like liberals when they are presented with positive news about Trump.

The thing is, that is exactly what the other side / minority does as part of their "evidence". But (on an ever increasing basis?), their kids have autism.

So like most everything it boils down to a numbers game and perception of risk. I really don't blame people for wanting to try and better their odds. Ultimately that is all both sides of the fence are trying to do.

Anyway, if there is "overwhelming evidence" of safety then I do want to see the money get paid out. What would it take?

there is NO PROPER research into the NON organic mercury compounds effects of ethyl mercury, despite the fact they have a longer half life then other inorganic mercury compounds ( effectively 120 days.)

there is also not enough research into cumulative effects of Ethyl mercury on infants. as the organic ethyl mercury compounds last in the brain for 14 days per shot.

That's not really how you can assess if something is safe. Nothing is without some risk. Hell seat belts have ended up being what killed some people in an accident. I suppose we could then say seat belts are unsafe?

I can point to my kid who's had every available recommended vaccine and is 100% fine. The inverse isn't true. No link for autism to vaccines.

But what about autism to mercury? Isn't that their argument?

Also what kind of cut do I get of the money? 10%?

I don't know what their argument is to be honest...It's not worth investigating from my perspective. And you know as well as I do that proving vaccines are safe, in their minds, will never be done. We have about as much of a chance of them paying out as we have Trump donating 5 million after Obama's birth certificate was released.

Like vaccinating for chicken pox? Where are they going to draw the line on the risk vs reward? Just because you can create a vaccine for virus x doesn't mean that it's necessarily a good idea. Many of the things we can vaccinate for are pointless and/or could potentially cause more harm than good. Haven't we learned the downsides of over-prescribing things?

I'll also add that many that tout the herd immunity stand don't get the required boosters. Most people are not up to date thus they pose a risk to that herd.

Take my chicken pox vaccine for example. Get chicken pox as a child and you get a rash for a few days. That's it. Take the vaccine and then you're stuck with boosters for the rest of your life. If you don't keep up, you run the risk of getting chicken pox at a later age which has far more serious complications. Sounds like a great way for the drug industry to get you on the hook with boosters. Hmmmm...

Over-prescription of drugs? Really? I have point out all the problems with everything that's created in our society and health? Start with our over-precipitation of antibiotics and what that's ended doing to viral mutations and the creation of super bugs. There's a time and a place for these things.

You ever seen someone with shingles? If I could have avoided chickenpox as a child and kept up with boosters, I'd have GLADLY been vaccinated to avoid the risk of shingles later in life.

Sorry, but saying chickenpox vaccinations are useless because you just avoid it as a child is pretty damn short sighted boss.

If you vaccinate everyone and we basically rid our society of chicken pox, you don't really have to worry about boosters unless you leave the country. However, I could see how that could be considered unnecessary from that point of view. I still would prefer to never get it in my life.

I also personally don't get flu shots, but those are different in and of themselves, as they're more of a gamble than anything.

Yes, really. Antibiotics are completely different from vaccines. You can't really draw parallels between the two and say "because over prescription of antibiotics has caused super bugs, so will vaccines."

So you aren't even aware of what it is you're trying to argue against. Come on man, the paragraph I quoted in the OP is tiny.

The overwhelming amount of research (and sheer number of people that have received modern vaccines) points to the risks being negligible.

Best course of action is to vaccinate your fucking children so that we keep our herd immunity, and at the same time keep funding research to find even better ways to vaccinate.

You and Scooby realize some people have genetic markers that make them susceptible to retaining mercury for longer time periods then other people, right?

and there IS plenty of evidence and research linking heavy metals, INCLUDING MERCURY, to brain development issues.

the argument basis is around the mercury due to the effects of heavy metals on brain development, and there is NO research into ETHYL mercury compounds and their effects. it is based entirely around METHYL mercury dosages testing.
